Iowa mental health care review pending, but no criteria yet

By Makayla Tendall IowaWatch.org No set criteria exist yet to gauge whether or not a redesign of how Iowa delivers mental health treatment, which included the controversial closing of two mental health institutes June 30, will be as beneficial to Iowans as hoped, Gov. Terry Branstad said in an IowaWatch interview.

Branstad said he will continue to review a four-year plan for re-designing how Iowa provides mental health care.

The redesign plan, implemented in 2012, is to bring mental health care services from being delivered at the county level to being delivered in a regional level containing multiple counties. Fifteen mental health regions exist in Iowa. The County Social Services region includes Butler County and nearby Floyd, Chickasaw, Black Hawk, Grundy and Cerro Gordo counties, among others.

Mental health care advocates in Iowa have not embraced the changes, and

Branstad said no timeline exists for to be made,” Branstad said.

Branstad is well aware of that.

Sen. Bill Dix, R-Shell Rock, who “People hate change but they love determining criteria and the eventual represents southeastern Butler County, progress,” he said in the interview review.

He said benchmarks to determine previously served in the Iowa House earlier this month at the Statehouse in Des Moines. “We have to overcome success should come from the experts for 10 years.

Aplington man sentenced for delivery, invasion of privacy An Aplington man’s plea to delivery of marijuana, a class D felony, and invasion of privacy, a serious misdemeanor, was accepted on July 13 in Butler County District Court.

Before the offense date, Martz had no other convictions listed on Iowa Courts Martz Online.

In its determination, the court considered such things as the defendant’s prior convictions (or lack thereof) and “that a dangerous weapon or force was not used in the commission of the offense,” the judgment said.

For the drug sentence, count one, Korey Austin Martz, 21, Aplington, was committed to the Department of corrections for up to five years with credit for time served.

Three separate, five-year no-contact orders were issued against Martz for all three victim-witnesses.

He will be sent to the Iowa Medical and Classification Center at Oakdale until which prison is deter-

mined. District Court Judge Greg R. Rosenbladt echoed a recommendation from the presentence investigation that Martz be placed at the Mt. Pleasant facility. His driving privileges were revoked for 180 days.

On count one, he was ordered to pay a $125 law enforcement initiative surcharge and jail fees. A $750 fine and associated 35 percent surcharge were suspended.

On the privacy invasion sentence, he was sentenced to one year in Butler County Jail, to run concurrently with count one, with credit for time served. A $315 fine and 35 percent surcharge were suspended.

By Iowa Code section 903B, upon discharge from probation, Martz was committed to 10 years in custody of the Department of Corrections, with the term to begin under supervision “as if on parole,” the judgment states. Martz will be required to register as a sex offender for 10 years “and shall remain on the registry after expiration of the 10-year period for an additional [10-year] period equal to the term of the special sentence […] under section 903B.” Counts two through four were dismissed with court costs assessed to Martz.

tools,” Upmeyer said. “I can see how a fresh set of eyes reviewing the system could yield constructive feedback.”

Assistant Senate Majority Leader Amanda Ragan, D-Mason City, representing northern and western Butler County, is Senate chairperson of the health and human services appropriations committee, vice-chair and former chair of the human resources committee.

“Iowa’s mental health system has been under constant review,” Ragan said. “We are in the process of implementing a major redesign of the system to a regional system. Years of planning went into the regional system. We had outside experts and Iowans working on the plan.”

Two of Iowa’s four state mental health institutes going into this year — one in Mount Pleasant and one in Clarinda – closed on June 30.

On July 2, the governor vetoed proposed funding that would have kept the MENTAL HEALTH to page 14

Vet takes ownership of Kruse’s former practice Mira Schmitt-Cash Editor

ALLISON — There’s a new owner at Dr. Brian Kruse’s former practice, and a new name, Allison Vet Service.

Chelsea Peelen, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, grew up on a dairy farm in O’Brien County.

“My mom was a high school science teacher, so we had a little bit of everything,” Peelen said. “She always had the small animals in the classroom and they’d come home … over breaks.”

She completed DVM studies at Iowa State University in 2010. Her four-year undergraduate studies were also at ISU where in addition to pre-veterinary, she graduated with animal and dairy science degrees.

Peelen’s has been a fairly straight path.

After completing her studies, she came to work for Dr. Kruse. She bought the practice May 1, which came with an office manager and vet assistant, DaMaris Menken, and an accountant. Also inherited with the practice were the two office cats, Penelope, a stray, and Cleo, who came from her sister’s cat.

Peelen makes house calls for farms but receives most pet calls in the office, which is in Allison (and is not associated with the Clarksville Veterinary Services).

Previously, the Allison practice was called North Central Veterinary Center.

Heat and humidity mean different things to different people. To the younger generation they probably mean water parks and swimming.

To farmers they mean perfect corn growing weather (especially with the rain shower this morning!). To many 4-H’ers around the state they mean county fair. To some of those 4H members they might even mean the refinishing project they wanted to do for fair, just might not get done this year!

Here in the office we are swamped figuring out fair premiums (that’s not ready on the new fair entry system, and I am not sure I’d trust it if it was!) setting up summer and fall programs, working on the 4H newsletter, day camps, library programs and fair judging. Can you say “multitasking”? I know scientists tell us that people can’t multi-task, but NO ONE COULD SURVIVE IN EXTENSION WITHOUT THIS VERY VALUABLE SKILL! Last minute programs always seem to fill in any gaps in the calendar and this summer is no exception. We will have our second Master Gardeners Summer Webinar Series on Tuesday, July 28th from 6:30-8:30 pm here at the office. Iowa State University Extension & Outreach Horticulturist, Denny Schrock, will discuss waterwise landscaping and Master Gardener, Jamie Beyer, will talk about water features. They will be presenting a

low-water use landscaping approach and how to utilize water-tolerant plants. Plan to join us here at the office on July 28!

We’ve also scheduled a rather indepth workshop on Cover Crops to be held Wednesday, July 29 beginning at 1:30 pm here at the office. Our ISUEO Agronomist, Terry Basol, will provide a very brief overview of cover crops and their usage here in Iowa. We have 2 farmers, Rick Juchems and Jack Boyer, who are both members of Practical Farmers of Iowa and currently utilizing cover crops on their farms, giving presentations. I am looking forward to both of their presentations as ambassadors of PFI. Lawrence Green from NRCS, will be on hand to share financial incentives they can provide, especially to farmers who are willing to try cover crops for the first time.

Klinkenborg Aerial Spraying and the Water Rocks Conservation Trailer will also be a part of our program. Lastly, we will have a question and answer session for attendees to get their questions and concerns answered by folks utilizing cover crops successfully on their fields.

We’d love to have a large crowd on hand for both events – they are free to anyone and a great place to be if the weather is hot and humid! Make plans to join us July 28th and 29th to learn new ideas for your home, acreage or farm!

Clarksville EMS to host responder course in September Clarksville Emergency Medical Services will host an Emergency Medical Responder course in September.

With the Clarksville Ambulance, the EMR drives the ambulance, assists in lifting/loading patients, assists EMTs / Paramedics / RNs, and provides basic medical care.

“We have not hosted a class right in Clarksville for a number of years, so this is an excellent opportunity

for anyone in Clarksville who has an interest in joining the crew,” crew member Kim Sterken said.

The course is 40 hours. Dates and times are not yet set. Five students are required for the course to be hosted. Individuals from other communities are welcome to attend.

Please contact Kim Sterken, 319278-4446, or any other Clarksville EMS crew member for more information.

Happy 40th Anniversary Doug and Pat! Love, Your Family

Dealing with Stress from Unexpected Changes Takes Time AMES, Iowa -- Unexpected changes such as job loss or financial uncertainty can turn life upside down.

Dealing with the stress and adjusting to a “new normal” can be slow and painful, but is possible, says a human sciences specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.

“Stress affects our health and relationships. Even if we don’t talk about it, those around us -- our family, friends and co-workers -- still pick up on our body language,” said Kimberly Greder, an associate professor in human development and family studies, and family life extension specialist.

Avian influenza has increased the stress that many Iowa families are facing. ISU Extension and Outreach is cooperating with University of Minnesota Extension and SDSU Extension to provide resources for families struggling with the human challenges brought on by avian influenza. Extension staff from the three land-grant universities are providing families with research-based information and resources. To learn more, follow #AvianFluImpact on social media and visit tiny.cc/findanswers-now.

Manage Change, Reduce Stress: Greder offers these tips for managing change and reducing stress: • Identify one thing you can do to address part of the issue. For example, if you already have or are expecting to have less income, what expenses can you reduce now?

• If you exercise regularly, keep doing it. If you don’t exercise regularly, start now. It will help you manage the stress you feel as part of change, as well as help your longterm health.

• Talk about the change with your family, because it effects everyone.

Together you may be able to identify ways to reduce expenses.

• Do something you enjoy each day. It could be as simple as taking 10 minutes a day to read, find a quiet space to close your eyes and rest, or listen to music.

• Eat and drink healthy. What you put in your body effects how you feel physically and mentally.

• Be around people you enjoy and care about.

• Let your values drive decisions

Free yourself from the burden tobacco is placing on your life, and save money by becoming tobacco free. When you enroll with Quitline Iowa, you gain instant access to tools that increase your chances of quitting by nine times more than trying to quit on your own. Act now to save later.

you make.

Remember the Children: Children experience and process stress differently than adults. Children’s thinking and emotional skills are still developing, and they have limited experiences to draw upon, Greder said. Chronic stress in children affects their development, how they feel about themselves and the world around them, their health and how they interact with others.

“When parents are stressed, children become stressed. When adults are patient, calm and understanding with children, stress that children may experience can be minimized,” Greder said.

Even minor changes in children’s environment can cause stress, because children continually are trying to find order and patterns as they go through the day.

“It is important for children to have consistent adults in their life who they can trust and rely on, and to have daily routines such as meal times and bed times,” Greder said.

Regular, healthy food choices and opportunities for fun, physical activity help children manage big and little stresses in their lives.

“Activities that promote big movements in children such as dancing, hiking, bike riding, playing soccer, shooting hoops, swinging or climbing on playground equipment are simple, low-cost activities that help children reduce and manage stress,” Greder said. “When low levels of physical activity are needed, such as before bedtime, reading a book, drawing or listening to music can help a child relax.”

Aqua update from Allison

I had the good fortune to hear from Pool Manager Kelly Bouillon with an update on the Allison Swimming Pool.

The water aerobics class has been doing so well, management has decided to add another day. Water aerobics will now occur Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 8-9 p.m., for $2 a session, separate from pool admission.

“The ladies love it!” Bouillon said.

Last week was especially busy, with Allison Wilder Days.

Last Friday was the Ping Pong Ball Pool Party. The pool was filled with about 2300 ping pong balls. Prizes were given.

Saturday was a Free Swim at the pool for Wilder Days. That day, 138 patrons attended.

Sunday after close, the guards attended an in-service. Bouillon’s daughter, Kirby and Connor Tindall coordinated the training. There were five real-life scenarios. The guards drew from a hat whether they were to play a role of guard, patron swimming or the drowning victim.

“There was lots of information, and all of our guards either learned something new or remembered something that they had forgotten since last being

Mira’s Musings

Branstad veto means big losses for Butler County Schools

GUEST OPINION

By David Mansheim Either your schools will decline or your taxes will increase as a result of Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad’s veto of the bipartisan legislative compromise on education spending earlier this month.

In a contentious 2015 overtime session, legislative Republicans would not budge from their goal to set allowable educational growth at 1.25 percent. They finally agreed to a compromise of adding $55.7 million in one-time money through a supplemental spending bill, which would have brought the total close to the Democratic plan of 2.6 percent for fiscal year 2015 - 16.

It is important to note that this bipartisan compromise was a part of a fiscally responsible state budget that was $165.8 million dollars less than the budget Branstad proposed in January.

Even the 2.6 percent level was so woefully inadequate, that The Iowa Sate Educational Association estimated roughly 1,000 teacher positions would be eliminated. And now, with the veto, the Iowa Association of School Boards estimates as many as 162 districts will have to raise property taxes. Iowa’s education budget now will not keep up with inflation let alone make up for the several lean years since the recession. Iowa school districts will have to make due with larger class sizes, fewer electives such as the arts, and fewer textbooks and supplies.

Butler County School Districts will see their budgets undercut by Branstad’s veto in the following amounts: • Aplington-Parkersburg by $91,784 • Clarksville by $38,252 • Dike-New Hartford by $97,025 • Hampton-Dumont by $137,285 • North Butler by $71,498 • Waverly-Shell Rock by $225,823 Iowa spends $1,600 less per student than the national average and our ranking as 35th in the nation is headed down. Our once proud public school system used to receive far more in educational spending. State aid was as high as 13.59 percent in 1981. Aid averaged about 6 percent in the 1980s and 4 percent in the ‘90s.

The five-year average prior to this

Branstad term was 5 percent, but since his return to the Governor’s Office and Republican control of the House, state aid has averaged only 1.6 percent. One year it was zero.

Branstad touts his Teacher Leadership Program as transformational and it may be. But, the money for this new experiment is included in the 1.25 percent educational aid package — at the expense of desperately needed basics.

The conclusion of this funding fight comes 16 months past the legal deadline for the legislature to act.

Waverly/Shell Rock Superintendent Ed Klamforth told me he was extremely aggravated at the legislature for consistently ignoring the law.

Klamforth said, “Our schools are hemorrhaging. The veto means cuts to textbooks and technology and it means I will have categorical funds for lead teachers but fewer teachers to lead.” He went on to lament the increasing politicization of education in Iowa, the one thing Iowans always used to agree upon.

It’s not as if we don’t have the money.

According to the Iowa Fiscal Partnership, Iowa’s revenues are projected to increase nearly 5 percent next year.

The state just ended the fiscal year on June 30 with a 6 percent increase in revenues and collected a record $8 billion for the first time in history. According to the non-partisan Legislative Services Agency, the state will end the fiscal year with $1.07 billion in surplus and reserve.

We have so much saved up for a rainy day that Republican legislators are already talking about big tax cut next year for upper income Iowans in the form of a “flat tax” option. But, they are not talking about any extra money for education.

So why is it so hard to properly fund our schools? Next year, Iowa will have to spend $277 million to backfill the counties’ loss of commercial property tax revenue. Those property tax cuts will consume 68 percent of the estimated $408 million in increased state revenue.

No doubt you were told in the last campaign that it is for general property tax relief. Only 11 percent of it will flow to residential and agricultural property owners next year. The rest goes to owners of commercial property, apartment buildings, industrial facilities, railroads, and utilities.

To sum up, a large part of our future state revenue will go to pay for commercial property tax cuts. This leaves insufficient money for state aid for education, which means school districts will be forced to raise residential

and agricultural property tax. Did you come out ahead in that shuffle?

Colleges were hit too; Branstad vetoed $2.5 million for community colleges, $2.9 million for the University of Iowa, $2.3 million for Iowa State University and $1.1 million for the University of Northern Iowa. Now all bets are off for a spring college tuition freeze.

Branstad also vetoed money to keep the state’s two mental health hospitals open until other arrangements could be made.

Branstad lectured legislators that it was unwise to spend one-time funds for ongoing expenses. Knowing this, Republicans carefully drafted the package to specify it was for supplemental aid only and not to be used to supplant money for ongoing operations. The Governor’s staff participated and he watched it happen in apparent agreement. Yet, Branstad vetoed the compromise anyway. Hence, shock and outrage from newspapers, educators, and politicians across the state.

Something odd happened; this was both bad policy and bad politics, which makes it difficult to understand.

Was it failed leadership and a colossal failure of communication between the Governor, Senate Minority Leader Bill Dix, and House Speaker Kraig Paulsen? Is it possible Branstad lied to the elected leaders of both parties? Or was there a double cross by Republicans who had fingers crossed behind their backs when they agreed to the compromise, knowing all along that Branstad would veto it?

Democrats, like State Sen. Amanda Ragan, have called for a special session to override the governor’s veto.

For that to occur, two -thirds of the members of the Iowa House and Senate must sign a written request for a special session. That would require a lot of Republicans to buck their leadership and governor, so I think the prospects are dim.

Moreover, I predict we won’t get any better results in the next session of the legislature now that positions have hardened and Gov. Branstad has poisoned the well.

Change will have to wait for parents, grandparents, educators and concerned Iowa voters to sweep the Iowa House clean in 2016. Then they must take a stand in the 2018 governor’s race for someone who will do more than just mouth the slogan “Iowa’s Education Governor” for votes.

AMES, Iowa –- With continuing weather forecasts of temperatures in the mid- to upper 90s and heat index topping 100 degrees in Iowa, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach beef veterinarian Grant Dewell reminds beef cattle producers that properly preparing for these weather conditions is vital to maintaining herd health.

Five steps to avoiding heat stress in beef cattle 1. Plan ahead. After cattle get hot, it’s too late to prevent problems.

2. Don’t work cattle when it is hot.

Finish working cattle early (before 9 to 10 a.m.) in summer, and remember that during a heat wave it’s best to not work cattle at all.

3. Provide plenty of fresh clean water. When it’s hot and humid, consuming water is the only way cattle can cool down. Make sure the water flow is sufficient to keep tanks full, and ensure there’s enough space at water tanks (3 inches linear space per head.) Introduce new water tanks before a heat event occurs so cattle know where they are.

4. Feed 70 percent of ration in the afternoon. Heat from fermentation in the rumen is primary source of heat for cattle. When cattle are fed in the morning, peak rumen temperature production occurs during the heat of day when they can’t get rid of it. By feeding 70 percent of the ration in late afternoon, rumen heat production occurs when it is cooler.

5. Provide ventilation, shade and/

or sprinklers. Environmental temperatures compound the heat load for cattle during a heat wave. Remove objects that are obstructing natural air movement. Indoor cattle will benefit from shade provided by the building as long as ventilation is good. Outdoor cattle will benefit from sprinklers to cool them off. Make sure cattle are used to sprinklers before employing them during a heat wave.

Mira Schmitt-Cash, Editor miraschmittcash.map@gmail.com certified,” Bouillon said.

Red Cross Swim lessons received more family signups this year than in the past, Bouillon said. Management had to add each an additional level one and level two class.

“It was awesome to watch the little ones learn the water and swim skills!”

Bouillon said.

During the Wilder Days Parade, guards used a blue golf cart and a blue Harley in the parade to thank everyone who has donated or helped with the pool this year.

“To their surprise and excitement they won ‘Best Youth’ in the parade!”

Bouillon said. The Butler County bucks they won will help fund their lifeguard end-of-season party.

This season, the pool has 13 full and part-time guards. Some are heading off to college and some are still in high school. Bouillon spoke highly of them.

“Since we have a variety of guards

this year we will be trying to stay open until Sept. 8,” she said. The last day will be a Doggie Swim.

For more information, call the pool at 319-267-2762.

Events at the Allison Pool July 24, 31

On Friday July 24, the Allison Swimming Pool will have its “Noodle Party.” Pool Manager Kellie Bouillon invites the community to bring a foam Noodle, kick board or small tube, from 5-7 p.m.

On Friday, July 31 at dark — about 8:45 p.m. or 9 p.m., the pool will show the movie “Sand Lot” while patrons swim. Patrons may bring personal floatation devices that do not obscure the lifeguard’s view of patrons underwater.

The admission fee is $2 a child, $2.50 an adult.

Yard and Garden—

Harvesting Cucumbers Cucumbers are a widely cultivated plant that grow well in warmer weather, making them a perfect summer plant in any home garden.

As it gets time to harvest, there can be a few problems that may arise.

Follow these tips from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists on what to look out for when harvesting cucumbers.

To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or at hortline@iastate. edu.

When should I harvest cucumbers?

Harvest cucumbers every two to three days and promptly pick the fruits when they reach the desired size. Pickling cultivars should be harvested when the fruits are two to four inches long. Slicing cucumbeers should be six to eight inches long and 1 ½ to 2 inches in diameter, but still dark green and firm. Over- bitacin.

Avoid Heat Stress in cattle by planning ahead

Some of my cucumbers rot at the blossom end. Why? The rotting is probably due to blossom-end rot. Blossom-end rot is a physiological disorder that occurs on tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and cucurbits. On cucumbers and other vine crops, the blossom end of the fruit begins to rot and within a short time the entire fruit has rotted.

Blossom-end rot is caused by a lack of calcium in the developing fruit. In most cases, there is no need to apply calcium to the soil. Try to maintain an even moisture supply by watering once a week during dry weather. Also, do not over-fertilize plants. Uneven moisture supplies and excessive nitrogen inhibit calcium uptake.

Compassion

I try to spend a little time each day on social media; Facebook is my site of choice. I enjoy catching up on old friends who post a notice of some event in their lives. I enjoy seeing the local “news” from members of my congregation. I learn about illnesses and misfortunes and celebrations as often through this media as any other. What I don’t enjoy is when people, especially people I know and love, use this platform to express anger or jealousy. Perhaps the commandment pertaining to ‘bearing false witness’ is running late in its application to these electronic pathways.

I was struck today as I browsed through the concordance of my Bible looking for times the word “compassion” was used. It shows up a lot, Old Testament and New.

How does one begin to teach compassion? Is it enough to say that we owe everything to God and God’s Son Jesus Christ, proving that we are all beggars? Is it useful to remind the young and the old that we are wealthy in comparison to the vast majority of the world? Is it helpful to say that the only really poor person is the one who has no compassion to spare? Does a person need to “deserve” compassion for us to give it? How have you taught compassion? Who taught you? My prayer is that we all examine our riches and use that knowledge to share greater compassion with our neighbors.

Amen –Pastor Mark Walker St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church (Vilmar)

Ayes: All. Nays: None. Motion carried.

Open Forum: No open forum items.

Consent Agenda: Blockhus made a motion to approve the Consent Agenda. Second by Henrichs. Those items approved were as follows: Approve minutes from meeting on June 22 and June 30, 2015 Approve Treasurer’s Reports Approve Building Permit for Jim Ackerson – 809 6th Street – 10 X 13 lean-to off a shed in his back yard Ayes: All. Nays: None. Motion carried.

New Business: Dick & Colleen Ulrich were present at the meeting to find out what if anything will be done to their driveway problem that was created after new curb & gutter was installed by their driveway and the 2’ of cement that goes from the curb into their driveway was replaced and now they bottom out when pulling in and out of their driveway. The City will have Jeremy Schrock check into the matter.

Bob Dralle was also present at the meeting concerned about all the frost boils in the driveway where the semi’s turn around to park in the semi parking lot near his shop. He said he figured two loads of washed white rock containing no lime would take care of the matter. He wondered if the City could help in the cost. The Council will have the public works department take care of hauling the rock to the parking lot.

Davis made a motion to approve Resolution # 15-07.1 – Resolution setting the public hearing date of August 10, 2015 to authorize a loan agreement with the Iowa Finance Authority of not to exceed $443,776 Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Notes to be applied to the engineering and planning of the lagoon project. Second by Henrichs. Ayes: All. Nays: None. Motion carried.

by Davis. Ayes: All. Nays: None. Motion carried.

Ayes: All. Nays: None. Motion carried.

Motion by Henrichs and second by Davis to approve Resolution # 15-07.4 – Resolution transferring $57,665 from TIF into the General Fund for payment of the DOT RISE reimbursement. Ayes: All. Nays: None. Motion carried.

Council discussed if they are willing to grant Justin & Becky Schrage a variance allowing them to keep their Pitbull dog. Councilman Plat-

ter stated that it is the general consensus of the Council that no pitbulls will be allowed in Allison.

Motion by Blockhus and second by Davis to not grant a variance to the Schrage’s. Ayes: All. Nays: None. Motion carried.

At the last Council meeting, it was discussed making changes to the personnel policy in regards to overtime hours for the public works department. The Council realizes there are emergency situations where overtime is necessary but they would like to control the overtime hours as much as they can and still be fair. Glenda will check with surrounding towns to see what they do for overtime. Allan and Kim will both be asked to be at the next meeting on August 10, 2015 to discuss this further.

Butler County Council on Aging had asked for a $350.00 donation. The Council decided that no donation would be given.

When the North Butler Community School District had a contractor fix a tile line for their driveway, they dug across property by the swimming pool. The contractor dug up some wires that possibly may go to City street lights but they are not certain. The wires were never buried again but are exposed. Mayor Henrichs will contact the school about this matter.

Council discussed gravel that washes onto Oak Street. The public works department will use the street sweeper to get them off.

The new sign for advertising lots available in the Industrial Park is ready. Platter will contact Iowa One Call and then get the sign in place.

Old Business: Lee Gallentine – City Engineer – was present at the meeting. He said they are continuing to work on the lagoon project. He said work is ongoing for the farm to market road to be done in 2016. He said it should go out for bid letting in January or February of 2016.

Councilman Henrichs brought up the matter of at the time when we do the farm to market road if it will be a requirement by the City to the homeowners along the route to bring their sewer pipes that run under the road up to date so as to not have problems of old sewer lines breaking when we have the new road done. Lee will be doing some checking as to the scope of the project and just what we can possibly do to prevent this from happening.

Blockhus made a motion to adjourn at 7:05 p.m.. Second by Davis. Ayes: All. Nays: None.

Motion carried.

Y

ou may be surprised to learn that cooking with olive oil is a simple way to add heart-healthy â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodâ&#x20AC;? fats to your diet. In fact, the health benefits, flavor and versatility of olive oil are all good reasons that olive oil is a staple in many kitchens.

Not only can you replace other oils in recipes with olive oil (or extra virgin olive oil for added flavor), in many recipes you can also replace

butter with olive oil to reduce saturated fat, cholesterol and calories.

Studies show that your body absorbs nutrients from greens and vegetables better when they are consumed with a monounsaturated fat such as olive oil. These recipes help you get the most out of your veggies, and enjoy a decadent dessert too. Learn more at www.aboutoliveoil.org.`

Many Responsible for Successful Relay for Life

By Lucille Leerhoff, Relay Publicity and Event Chair It is with the generosity of many individuals, businesses and community groups from throughout Butler County that made the recent, July 10 American Cancer Society Relay For Life an outstanding success. The Relay committee thanks to all who helped in any way as it truly was a coming-together to make things happen.

An attempt will be made to thank all of the teams, in-kind contributors and sponsors for the event, however, if anyone is missed, it surely is not intentional.

Aplington-Parkersburg High School receives $9,727 grant to complete greenhouse PARKERSBURG –When an EF5 tornado destroyed Aplington-Parkersburg High School in 2008, the agriculture program lost its greenhouse. Employees from the Monsanto Beaman, Iowa soybean production site selected Aplington-Parkersburg High School to receive a $9,727 grant from the Monsanto Fund’s 2015 site grant initiative to complete construction of a new greenhouse.

Representatives from the organization and the fund celebrated the grant with a check presentation on July 1.

The new greenhouse will provide hands-on learning opportunities for agriculture students at Aplington-Parkersburg High School. Students have been raising funds to build the greenhouse since the disaster in 2008, and this grant will complete their six-year fundraising camtpaign.

“I’m most excited for the students who have worked on the project,” said Carlton Ness, agriculture educator and FFA advisor at Aplington-Parkersburg High School. “Now they get to see their efforts come full circle. We try to provide as many hands-on learning experiences as possible for the students, and this greenhouse will offer even more of

those lessons.”

Beaman operations manager Travis Williamson is a graduate of AplingtonParkersburg High School and alumni of the FFA chapter. He and others at the site volunteer as judges for contests, host field trips to field plots and sponsor awards.

“There is a great focus on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education at the high school and this greenhouse will help tie agriculture to lessons in biology and other science courses,” said Williamson.

“The number of students enrolling in the agriculture program is growing and this grant is a great way for them to reach their fundraising goal for the greenhouse. It is really exciting to see them get an interactive education in agriculture and see their hard work pay off.”

This year, the Monsanto Fund awarded more than $1.2 million to nonprofit organizations through the site grant initiative to help address essential needs in rural communities. School organizations across the country have received over $11.6 million from the fund since 2010.

North Butler Board to advertise for bids for Greene Elementary site Mira Schmitt-Cash Editor

The North Butler School Board rejected on Wednesday, July 15 a proposal to sell the closed Greene Elementary School to the city of Greene for one dollar and bear the costs of removing a 10,000-gallon underground fuel oil tank on the site, as Superintendent Joel

worth a lot more than that.”

The timeline for legal publication of a public hearing is 10 to 20 days beforehand, Foster said.

Foster said the board could easily post notice and hold the public hearing before the next board meeting.

Moellers moved to put the Greene Elementary site up for bid. Board member Gail Arjes seconded.

Board members present all voted in favor of putting the building site up for bid — Scott Bruns, Laura Staudt, Gail Arjes, Jon Heuer, John Moellers and Eric Bixby. Board member Kristy Lammers just missed the vote, arriving during the following agenda item.

Students who would have attended the elementary in Greene will attend Allison in the fall.

crease is $69,212 for certified staff, who are on the master contract.

The teachers ratified the settlement the previous week, Superintendent Joel Foster said.

“I know it’s the lowest (settlement) in our area,” Foster said.

All board members present approved the change — John Moellers, Scott Bruns, Jon Heuer, Gail Arjes, Laura

Staudt and Eric Bixby.

Classified staff and administrators were also granted the 1.87 percent package increase. (If the board didn’t grant it, those staff would have been entitled to a 1.87 percent raise, Foster said.)

The dollar impact will be under $23,000 for classified staff and under $75,000 for administrators.

Treasurer duties, previously held by a person outside the school, were rolled into the business manager/board secretary position. Administrators said the combination of duties is standard at many schools.

The certified staff increase passed 6-0. All seven board members were present and voted in favor of the classified and administrative staff motion.

fore school,” Foster said. “(A new card system) goes along with video cameras we’ll talk about in a little bit,” he added.

The doors will be open in the morning when students arrive then will lock when the school day starts, Foster said.

Foster said it would add safety at the high school by slowing people down.

“Everybody would have to come through the office,” Foster said.

The motion carried 6-0 with one absent.

VIDEO CAMERAS: The board heard various arguments for adding video cameras, heard it had been budgeted, heard two proposals for cameras, then

opted for the one Superintendent Foster recommended based on positive experience with that company.

Foster set aside $100,000 in the facilities plan for fiscal 2016 for cameras, he said.

Security Equipment Inc. of Des Moines won the bid, estimating $105,000. “(The bid was) right at where I though it’d be,” Foster said. “It’s important that we upgrade and upkeep our facilities.”

He said monthly fees were “minimal.”

“There’s very few (schools) that don’t have (cameras) anymore,” Foster said.

“Most have them for legal purposes

rather than discipline issues.” He said at a previous district, cameras showed a person who claimed to have fallen on the premises had not. Cameras help track an intruder in the building, he added.

“We could access it from our cell phones. … I could pull it up for the sheriff,” he told the board.

He said monitors showing all the video feeds would be stationed in each building.

A company out of Waterloo that lost the bid, estimated $70,000 total for the camera system at the high school and $60,000 for the Allison site, Foster said.

1.87 percent package increase ratified by union, school board Mira Schmitt-Cash Editor

Indy (Uhlenhopp) Gilson, North Butler Class of 2008 (UNI 2012), now of Urbandale, sold baked goods at Wilder Days Friday, July 17 to raise money for a mission trip to Uganda she will take Aug. 13-26 through Children’s Hope Chest, with her husband, Joel and 16 others, mostly Iowans. She learned about the Christian ministry from her brother, Marcus Uhlenhopp and his wife, Brooke, who sponsored a child three years ago. The country had been war-torn by the U.S.-recognized terrorist group, Lord’s Resistance Army, a group the United States stepped up efforts to disarm in 2010. Brooke’s sister traveled to Uganda two years ago. Gilson said that’s why she trusted that the intended recipients receive the support. She started sponsoring a child in November. “We (sponsors) just helped them build a well in January,” Gilson said.

“We help them find their strengths and provide for themselves.”
